American A griculturist.
It is not an easy task to attack and destroy
those villainous weeds which propagate by under
ground stems, or by roots which, extending
themselves the surface of the ground, throw
out buds which produce shoots and independent
plants every few inches through the soil. We
have one grip" so to speak, upon all this class
of weeds; they all need air-they have to breathe.
We may pillow them. going deep, narrowing
thoroughly, raking off the ground with long
toothed tools. and thus collect of the
found to be only severe check to them for one
season. II upon land so treated we can put
some hoed crop which will receive almost con-
slant attention aud be kept perfectly clean, the
hoe going always below the top of the soil,
that the weeds will get neither light nor air; and
after the crop is taken off still no chance given
for them to the light or get breathing
spell, there may be hope that in about two years
we can say free from the worst of them.
Even then, for several years, bits of root that
have somewhat retained vitality likely to
show life above ground, and these. of course,
should receive prompt special treatment as soon
discovered. Taking enlarged idea or
weeds-to include brush, and swamp roadside
and hedgerow growths. from briers to alders-
remark that they may be destroyed by close
cutting any considerable growth ap-
pears. We may allow growth early in the
season, when the root is strong, for the sake of
exhausting it; but in dry hot weather every
shoot should be cut pulled up, trodden
down, so that complete exhaustion and death
shall take place. When such growths cut
close to the ground in April again about the
middle of June, and as they grow during the
season, the next year will see but few of them.

Equal Suffrage in Kansas.

paper recently before the North Star
Equal Suffrage Association of Kansas
She said:
There is no strife to-day between
the sexes. We are in possession of
many rights and franchises which We
have not the nerve nor the ambition ia
exercise. What the women of Amer.
lea need to-day is concert of action and
aggressive effort. Our voting fran.
chise is in sight and in reach. One
united. gallant struggle, and the fruits
of the ages of strife and smothered JUS
tice will be over. The tendency of our
politics to-day is toward corruption,
and if it can not be stopped. discord and
anarchy must follow. Vice is growing.
Reform campaigns do not stop it We
must help. We shall be put in . posi-
ton to help just as soon as we 60 with
